1 6 council which receives the application. Notice of the
1 7 application shall be mailed by certified mail, by the city to

1 11 Notice of the application shall be published by the city in an
1 12 official county newspaper in each county which contains a part
1 13 of the territory at least ten days before any action is taken

1 15 a city council, the resolution may include a provision for a
1 16 transition for the imposition of taxes as provided in section

1 20 secretary of state, county board of supervisors, each affected
1 21 public utility, and the state department of transportation.
1 22 The city clerk shall also record a copy of the legal
1 23 description, map, and resolution with the county recorder.
1 24 The secretary of state shall not accept and acknowledge a copy
1 25 of a legal description, map, and resolution of annexation
1 26 which would create an island. The annexation is completed
1 27 upon acknowledgment by the secretary of state that the
1 28 secretary of state has received the legal description, map,
1 29 and resolution.

2 1 the succeeding July 1.
2 2 Sec. 3. NEW SECTION. 368.25 ANNEXATION OF COUNTY
2 3 FACILITIES.
2 4 A county shall be fairly compensated for facilities lost to
2 5 annexation. A city council and the board of supervisors may
2 6 agree to terms which provide that the county is reimbursed for
2 7 facilities constructed by the county which are annexed into
2 8 the city. If agreement is not reached within ninety days, the
2 9 issues may be submitted to arbitration. If submitted, an

2 24 taken. The proposed annexation application shall also be
